editor - how to set up resource trigger?

[FrancoisPhilidor]

Hi, does anybody know how to make it so that a location gives you 10 extra resource points per turn, but only as long as you are holding it, like in multiplayer maps, e.g. the Fork?

Thanks

It's probably done this way:

Thanks for the screenshots, nice.
I think I have tried sth similar, but I used +20 (not =20), and somehow it wasn't working. It was somehow exponential or sth. I had a normal income of 70, and said if that hex is under my control, the income will change by +20. But in the first turn it added +20 two times, and in the second turn even more times. Do you think that -1 at the start of the trigger causes this?

It's probably done this way:

I think I will try not "check hex owner" but "check victory point count", and as effect = instead of +

[FrancoisPhilidor]

So what worked for me was:

if primary locations = 0, income =40
if primary locations = 1, income =60
if primary locations =2, income =80
etc
and then infinite checking (-1) at turn start.


Thanks for the idea though

OK, you're welcome, but I didn't help you much—you figured it out yourself.

You pointed me in the right direction

-1 means the trigger is a loop and will fire each turn. So the resources will add up 20-40-60 etc

Well I wanted that sth happens every time when somebody captures and re-captures the village. If I had set it to 1, it would only trigger the first time somebody occupies it, right?

[Erik2]

Correct, 1 is fire once and -1 is fire each time the condition is met.

The problem with the first method was that it increases your income every turn you have that location captured. You then receive that amount of resources every turn. Instead of increasing income, you can give resources every turn the location is captured.

EDIT: In Zbrozlo's suggestion that is handled by it only firing in the capture VP event, so if it didn't work maybe you didn't have the location as a VP location (and only silver and gold flags are those?).

Thanks. Well I have made it so that it always checks the number of owned primary locations at turn start, and changes income with =, not with +
